ati dual head high resolution

[Daryl Lublink]

Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils

xrandr does not detect that it can do dual 1680x1050 for office tasks on my ATI video card.

It normally sees VGA-1 as being limited to 1360x768.

I can get both screns to a higher resolution using this command :
xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1680x1050
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1680x1050
xrandr --output VGA-1 --left-of VGA-0

Although Video does not work well on the right screen at this resolution, normal office tasks ( spreadsheet, firefox, terminal, solitaire etc... ) all work very well.

Therefore I believe that a bug exists in the detection of supported resolutions on my video card.

This applies to Lucid Lynx. Any earlier Ubuntu can not handle the above resolutions on my video cards. It would be nice if you fixed the resolution detection.

Daryl Lublink, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

I got a new computer and threw away this older AGP card. I will not be able to provide more information.
